Workflow management

Create, edit, validate, and publish workflows to automate multi-step processes across the platform. Understand workflow activities and variables and how to use them effectively. Take a deeper look at how workflows are constructed, validated, and used.

• Create a workflow
  Automate a multi-step process by creating a workflow with the Workflow Editor.
• Work on workflows
  To complete a workflow, you add workflow activities, validate the workflow, and publish it.
• Workflows used as subflows
  A workflow can launch another workflow as an activity.
• Using variables in a workflow
  Within workflow there are several different types of variables that are available.
• Workflow catalog variables
  Workflows that are associated with the Requested Item [sc_req_item] table have a specific type of workflow input.
• Workflow events
  The system employs two types of events: registered platform events and workflow events.
• Workflow stages
  Workflows can indicate workflow progress by updating any field designated as a stage field.
• Workflow validation
  Workflow validation examines different characteristics of a workflow to locate issues that might prevent the workflow from being published or cause it to fail. The validation report summarizes the results of each separate workflow validation.
